Dan Fodio Didn't Bring Islam To Nigeria — Yoruba Muslims Knew It 700 Years Earli by Alasheyori(op): 10:54am On Mar 08

#YorubaHistory #IslamInNigeria #NigerianPolitics Before the Sokoto Caliphate existed, Yoruba Muslims were already scholars, traders, and community leaders. The documented arrival of Islam in Yorubaland dates to approximately 1000–1100 CE — over 700 years before Usman Dan Fodio launched his 1804 Jihad from Gobir.

So why does the Sultan of Sokoto function as the de facto voice of Nigerian Islam — including for Yoruba Muslims his predecessors never governed?
In this video, we trace how colonial administration, military-era politics, and federal institutional design created a religious hierarchy that history does not actually support. This is not an attack on any individual. This is a structural analysis — and the implications for Southwest Nigeria's political and economic future are significant.

Then why do Yorubas seem inferior before the descendants of the Danfodio dynasty in the Islamic scheme of things in Nigeria?

Indeed, historically, the FIRST EVER mosque in Yorubaland was built over 500 years ago in Iwo (now in Osun State) during the powerful years of the Oyo Empire.

Even the Kanuri people and their Kanembu cousins in Chad have practiced Islam for over 1000 years with Islam getting to Hausaland within the last 1000 years. This is why when the Kanuris were attacked by the foreign Fulas in the 1804 invasion, the traditional ruler of the Kanuris wrote a strongly-worded letter to Uthman Danfodio challenging his claims of bringing pure Islam to the Kanuris which is a historical LIE!

The Kanuri leader strongly emphasized to Uthman in his letter written in Arabic that the Kanuris have practiced Islam for 1000 years. The so-called 1804 Fula invasion by the Niger Republic-born Fula called Danfodio and his minions was for the slave raiding of people and land grabbing purposes NOT to spread Islam.

The influence of the minority Fula in Northern Nigeria over majority indigenous people of Nigeria is largely a British Colonial era and Military-era creation.

Those people joyfully and proudly show their ignorance in public space.

Because the bereaved is too timid to cry.
They serve their Dan fodio descendants with joy and they already know their place.
